  1. You think so? BTW, what does vast minority mean? The vast majority of Sox fans hated what was going on at the start of the 2023 season. Hell, many were bitching halfway into 2007 and after the Nomar trade in 2004. Glad to know you can pat each other's back, so often across the vast Sox Nation landscape you traverse.
  2. Nice line-up, despite no Turner.
  3. How does Raf come up before the SEP roster expands to 28? We are not DFA'ing or demoting any of our 5 OF'ers. Does he replace Reyes?
  4. Only if the majority is right.
  5. What if he makes two throwing errors?
  6. I feel a better terminology for Ref is a short platoon OF'er/DH. He needs to start every single game, when a lefty starts. He can PH, when he does not start.
  7. His 2BERA (as compared to Wong's CERA) is pretty awesome, too!
  8. Good for you and them. I'm glad choices on roster construction is not a democracy by fan votes.
  9. The ultimate goal post move. You're really good at it.
  10. So, who are "the only three," now?
  11. Next, you'll say "Paps knows more about baseball than any of us."
  12. Nice try. One team has to win whole the other loses. There are just 2 outcomes: one up or one dow. That is a two game swing based on the results of just one game.
  13. Nice game to watch.
  14. Seems like the right choice. Thanks for fixing the Sox SS D, while you were here, Mr. Chang. No more "Wong Chang, tonight!"
  15. No, it's 61-40 vs 60-41 (B is 1 GB) or 60-41 vs 61-40 (B is 1 GA, which is a "2 game swing")
  16. Ok wouldn't not or wouldn't? So much for just sticking with 3.
  17. I specified that the two game swing was related to the team we needed to catch, and it's 2 games.
  18. Every win vs TOR is a two game swing in the standing with the team most likely our easiest team to pass.
  19. He already has more catching experience than most team;s 3rd catcher on the 26.
  20. Kinda the definition of "gut feeling." He reminds me a little of Vlad and Devers, who were considered undisciplined. Some still want to tweak Devers approach. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, no, I am not comparing Rafaela to Vladevers, but I think he may surprise many of the experts, because he is so unique.
  21. Exactly. When we look at next summer's rankings, we will see some have fallen, and some have gained.
  22. I get it. You can be much better in CF and still a plus at SS. My point was about maybe not knowing he is just average at SS D.
  23. Worse than "journeyman" level.
  24. Good post. Hickey could add to his value, if he could remain a viable 3rd catcher on a 26 man roster, especially if both are weak hitting catchers in front of him.
  25. I'm all for letting Sox management pick the time they think Rafaela is ML ready. I'm even fine with the idea of delaying a ML ready Rafaela a little bit to gain a year of service in his prime. I'm just saying, my gut says he will be fine at the plate, sooner than many might think he is. That's not saying I know more than them, or that I think they are wrong not to rush him.
